McNays hold
On Aug. 7, 36 clan descendants
of William and Jane (Ramsay)
McNay whose motto, "My Race is
Royal", held a family reunion at the
farm of Bev and Jackie McNay of
R.R..#3, Lucknow.
1993 marked other anniversaries
as well: the 130th of the farm in the
McNay name; the 120th of the birth
of John and Isabella (Johnston)
McNay, the first of three sets of
twins born on the farm; the 100th
of John McNay's first teaching
position at Paramount, and the 70th
of Graham McNay's teaching at
Paramount.
Registration took place amid
sunny skies, happy, freckled McNay
faces, and red and green balloons,
colors of the McNay tartan.
Before a sumptuous potluck, a
color party of all five grandsons of
Peter and Lexie (Graham) McNay
vigorously piped in the haggis in
the finest Scots tradition. Leading
were the three sons of Margaret and
the late Alexander MacNay of
Lucknow. Dr. Ken MacNay of
Wiarton played the bag pipes. Bob
MacNay of Amberley followed
bearing the haggis (imported from
`royal' family reunion
Scotland). Donald MacNay, of
Toronto recited Robert Burns' "A-
ddress to the Haggis". Dr. Donald
MacNay of Virginia, son of Geral-
dine and Graham MacNay, Ottawa
came next bearing the skeindhu
(dirk). Bev McNay, son of the late
Mary and Kelso McNay bore the
Scottish flag.
After "Amazing Grace" played by
Piper Ken, Bev said grace and
welcomed everyone. Tables were
adogned with bouquets of Queen
Anne's lace, sweet clover, oats and
barley interspersed with red and
green candles.
The remainder of the aftemoon
was spent playing games,
scrambling for peanuts, looking at
old photos, taking pictures and
conversing, echoing George Bernard
Shaw's quote, ' "Reminiscences
make one feel so deliciously aged
and sad".
On a humorous note, the in-
vitation had stated, "Stay until the
cows come home". While Ken was
playing the bagpipes, Bev's dairy
herd literally came running to the
fence beside the house. Fortunately
no one left!
RCMP need your help in
The youngest member attending
was sixth generation MichaelFMac
Nay, son of Mary and Steve Mac -
Nay of Amberley. Elde's't lady and
gent were Anne (McNay) Stewart,
of Willowdale, and William
McNay, of Mississauga, children of
the late John and Agnes (McBride) -
McNay. Coming the greatest dis- .
tance was Marian (Ramsay;
Jameson of Pampa, Texas. Presen
for the first time from William ane
Isabella (McNay) Johnston lineage
was Winnifred (Johnston) Guse o:
London.
Toasts were made to ancestors
departed, kin unable to attend, and
everyone whose presence made the
reunion possible. Letters of regret
from Bessie Catnochan of Ottawa
and Bernice and John McNay of
Florida were read. Don MacNay of
Toronto - Amberley extended
thanks to the hostess and host.
At departure, families were given
edible keepsakes of shortbread
(imported from Scotland) embel-
lished in red and green to remind
them of their roots.

tivation and subsequent trafficking
of marijuana in the counties of

legally cultivated marijuana.
A great number of illegal crops
are planted along fence lines, in
$�yreeaas of fields which are remote or
ttnused and . on farms that - are
nted. You can aid the RCMP in
ting this illegal harvest by:
alking your own fence line,
hecicing unused lands bordering
our farm or just otherwise repor-
g any suspicious activities you
fight observe, such as persons
ntering wooded areas carrying jugs
of water,- or shovels, or leaving
these areas carrying plastic bags.
Points to remember are that the
owing season for the marijuana

average, or up to eight feet if a
supply of water is close by. The
plants have a stock similar to that
of corn and usually bear an odd
number of leaves five, seven, or
nine which have a jagged ap-
pearance. On some species of the
„plant, late in the growing season, a
distinctive bud will be noted at the
end of the stems. At the height of
the summer, the plant can be distin-
guished from surrounding foliage as
being noticeably "brighter green",
almost fluorescent.
If you have any information, or
are unsure and want confirmation of
an unknown plant, phone the Royal
Canadian Mounted Police directly
at the Owen Sound Detachment.
The number is 519-376-4358. Col-
lect calls are accepted. Or call
Crime Stoppers toll free at 1-800-
265-3787. Any information received
is treated confidentially and the
caller Can be assured anonymity.
Please try to include lot and conces-
sion numbers, description of per-
sons or vehicles and license plate
numbers in you call.
